Toll told me once that the Battambang line was within weeks of being finished. I went and had a look- nothing! There is still a railcar lying down an embankment up there, blown off the rails by a KR mine.
Off the rails in Battambang or Pursat, I can't remember which.

It was blown up and repaired so many times that the tracks were a mess and the trains could only crawl along rocking up and down and from side-to-side. You can see it in this excellent Rithy Panh documentary:puss in boots wrote:so the track and corridor is there even if only single track
